Introducing the Blue Ox BX1127 Tow Bar Bracket, meticulously engineered to fit a range of towed vehicles.

With a bolt-on mounting type, installation is straightforward and hassle-free.

The Blue Ox BX1127 Tow Bar Bracket is not just a product; it's a solution designed for reliability and ease of use.
Blue Ox is known internationally for recreational and commercial towing products, manufacturing in Pender, Nebraska since 1925. The line covers tow bars and vehicle-specific baseplates for flat towing behind a motorhome, sway control and weight distributing hitches, supplemental braking accessories and towing wiring, backed by patented designs and long-standing customer service.
Blue Ox has manufactured since 1925 and is recognised internationally for towing products and customer service. The company operates from Pender, Nebraska, where it grew out of Automatic Manufacturing Co., a business that started with cattle oilers and developed into agricultural equipment, tractor accessories and trailer towing hardware. That agricultural engineering heritage still shows in how the towing products are built, and the company holds patents across weight distribution, fifth wheel and tow bar designs.
Flat towing is the discipline Blue Ox is best known for. Towing a car with all four wheels on the ground behind a motorhome demands a system that stays rigid under braking, articulates properly over uneven ground, and connects to the towed vehicle at points strong enough to take the load. Blue Ox tow bars handle the first two, with self-aligning arms that latch under tension and release without a struggle when the load is off them. Vehicle-specific baseplates handle the third, engineered per make and model to tie into structural mounting points behind the fascia.
The wider flat towing range covers supplemental braking systems, safety cables and the accessories that make a complete legal setup, along with baseplate wiring and dinghy towing harnesses that pass lighting signals to the towed vehicle without back-feeding its electrical system.
For conventional trailer towing, Blue Ox weight distributing hitches with integrated sway control transfer tongue load onto the tow vehicle's front axle and resist the yaw that crosswinds and passing trucks induce.
The company describes its foundation as customer service, designing around what owners actually ask for, and it runs an RV park adjacent to the factory where customers can stay. Sister operations at the same Nebraska site include Automatic grain roller mills and MAD-RAMPS pivoting ramp systems.

Yes, the BX1127 is designed for 2007-2010 Jeep Patriot vehicles. However, dimensional variations between otherwise identical vehicles can be considerable. Minor adjustments may be necessary to compensate for manufacturer tolerances, including filing holes slightly, bending electrical rods, and/or bending end plates.
Motorhome mount tow bars are recommended for use with this baseplate. The Acclaim tow bar may be used, but will not fold and store on the front of the vehicle. The RangeFinderII, Adventurer, and Ambassador tow bars cannot be used due to the design of the removable tabs. Adapters, except the BX8833 and BX8815, cannot be used with this baseplate.
Required tools are: Loctite RED, 7MM socket, 10MM socket, 9/16" socket, T20 Torx, large vise grips, reciprocating saw, 13/32" drill bit, and flat screwdriver. A 13MM socket is also needed to remove horn bolts, and a tube is recommended to protect hoses when drilling on the passenger side.
The kit includes: one baseplate weldment (61-6533), eight nut plates (61-5208), one spacer plate (102-6889), five 3/8-16 x 1.5" Grade 5 hex bolts (201-0440), three 3/8-16 x 2" Grade 5 hex bolts (201-0444), eight 3/8" lock washers (203-0010), two #12-14 x 1" self-drilling screws (201-0979), two 10-32 x 0.5" round head screws (201-0192), two #10 lock washers (203-0054), two #10-32 hex nuts (202-0047), two 4-way connector adapters (101-5822), two removable attachment tab assemblies (62-3469), two 36" Class III baseplate safety cables (226-0046), two 3/8" quicklinks (229-0359), and two receiver cap plugs (290-0437).
Yes, the fascia must be removed for baseplate installation. The removal process involves removing seven T20 Torx bolts from the top, three 7MM bolts from inside each wheel well, two pushpins in front of each tire, two clips under the middle of the fascia, one 7MM bolt in front of each tire, and disconnecting turn signals and running lights on both sides. The horn must also be removed and disconnected.
Yes, drilling is required. Using a 13/32" drill bit, you must drill four holes into the frame on the driver's side and three additional holes on the passenger side. On the passenger side, a tube should be placed over the drill to protect hoses during drilling. All cut edges should be painted with good quality paint to prevent rusting.
Yes, frame trimming is required. Using a reciprocating saw, you must notch out the corner on both sides by measuring up from the bottom 1.25" and 1.25" across. The manual recommends painting the cut edges to prevent them from rusting.
The baseplate uses 3/8-16 Grade 5 hex bolts with 3/8" lock washers and 3/8-16 nut plates. On the driver's side, install 3/8 x 1.5" bolts in the top two holes and a 3/8 x 2" bolt with a spacer plate in the bottom hole. On the passenger side, install 3/8 x 1.5" bolts in the top two holes and 3/8 x 2" bolts in the bottom two holes. Loctite RED must be used on all bolts before tightening.
Yes, Loctite RED must be used on all bolts before tightening. This is emphasized in the manual as a critical step to ensure bolt security.
The baseplate must be level with the frame during installation. On the driver's side, ensure the baseplate is level with the frame and clamp in place with large vise grips before drilling. On the passenger side, align the baseplate with the existing hole, ensure it is level, and clamp in place with large vise grips before drilling.
The spacer plate (102-6889, 1/2 x 1 x 1.5" with .531 hole) is installed between the baseplate and the frame on the driver's side in the bottom hole. It is used with a 3/8 x 2" bolt and 3/8" lock washer, tightened to a 3/8-16 nut plate.
Yes, permanent baseplate safety cables are strongly recommended. Two 36" Class III safety cables are included with the kit. They must be connected from the baseplate to the frame rail or cross member of the vehicle's frame. The cables must not be mounted against wires, hoses, or brake lines. These cables are to be used in conjunction with, and not as a replacement for, legally required safety cables attaching the towed vehicle to the towing vehicle.
Before reinstalling the fascia, ensure that all electrical connections are plugged in properly and functioning. This is critical to avoid electrical issues after installation.
If the baseplate is in an accident, it must be replaced and cannot be used again. An accident can cause unseen damage, and using it again could result in more damage or serious injury. Do not use the baseplate if it is damaged or missing parts.
It is the owner's responsibility to inspect all towing equipment for cracked welds, missing or worn parts, and loose bolts before each towing trip. Use Loctite RED on all bolts and tighten to the recommended specifications. Attachment tabs should be removed when not in use.
